Simple Sunflower

I didn't think I was going to make a card today.  Then, fate stepped in.  I saw today's Make-It-Monday video and couldn't resist trying this technique.  "Flocked Look with Dimensional Paste."


In addition to my hexagon plate die, I used the Papertrey Ink set Simple Sunflower along with the sentiment from Hello Sunshine.  I wanted a larger leaf, so that came from Turning a New Leaf.  Since I didn't have the paste or gesso mentioned in the video...I used Red Devil Lightweight Spakling!  I added refill ink, of course.  Time will tell if it flakes off!  It was fun, though!

As a bonus I managed to fulfill the requirements for Stacey's Stamping Stage challenge of Sunflowers!


I have to run...must take dear daughter to the ortho!

    Can't believe you thought of spackle patch stuff. If I had thought of it I'd of used it too. I have gesso and paste stuff. Your card looks great. Your hex's do look fuzzy like. Too funny...Spackle!!

    Beautiful card Shelley! Love the way you used the spackle on only some of the hexagons - perfect placement. When I saw the video I thought of using spackling as well since I don't have any other medium that would work.
